Former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke has expressed his desire for his old club to sign Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku on loan this summer. Yorke believes that Lukaku, who spent two years at Old Trafford from 2017 to 2019, would be a valuable asset for Manchester United, especially with new striker Rasmus Hojlund out injured.
During his time at Manchester United, Lukaku registered an impressive 42 goals across 96 matches in all competitions. However, he was then sold to Inter Milan, where he helped the Italian side win the Serie A title. Lukaku then returned to the Premier League with Chelsea but has struggled to make an impact, leading the Blues to consider offloading him this summer.
Lukaku has been strongly linked with a move to Juventus, but Tottenham has recently shown surprise interest in signing him as a replacement for Harry Kane. Yorke believes that Lukaku is still good enough to play for a top-six club and thinks that Manchester United or Tottenham should take him on a short-term loan deal, with a certain amount of his wages being paid.
Yorke emphasizes that Lukaku deserves more credit for his impressive goalscoring record and believes that a fired-up Lukaku can be a match-winner and a handful for any opponent in the world. He argues that Lukaku, who is only 30 years old, is a proven goalscorer and can score 15 to 20 goals in a season, which is priceless and hard to find in today’s game.
Manchester United started their season with a 1-0 Premier League win over Wolves and will face Tottenham next. Yorke believes that if Manchester United wants to compete with the best, they should consider signing Lukaku on loan.
